Works fine and would be great for the average family who mainly uses it to shred mail and bills. I work from home and use a heavy duty Fedders shredder I bought from Staples several years ago. I often shred thick documents and you can use it longer before letting it rest. Once again for family mails and bills this would work quite well

I've used this shredder for about two weeks now putting it through the motions to make sure it works well and indeed it does. It cuts well and does not slow down much when the maximum pages are inserted. Looks great so far and hopefully this model will address any drawbacks the prior model had. Time will of course tell and Staples stands behind their products so I am not that concerned.

I was very pleased with the Staples 8-Sheet Shredder. It was the perfect size to have next to my work desk and to shred as I went through my daily mail. I also like the look of the shredder too as it has a very modern sleek look to it. The shredder did well in shredding papers and envelopes. I did make sure to not over-feed more than the 8 page limit. I also liked that it was capable to shred credit cards. The most important feature that I like was that it has the more secure feature of cross cut shredding. The shredder did include a sample of the Shredder lubricant sheet however I did wish it included a plastic bag option or suggestion (for those of us who like to shred directly into a bag that can be tied and then discarded). Overall I am very pleased with this light duty shredder.

I did not know what to expect but this thing delivers. I am impressed with the durability and design. Its powerful enough to take care of all my needs. Not the biggest container but its meant for a small office. I had no problems shredding the stuff I use. Easily shredded cardstock type paper. The best thing about it is how sleek and professional it looks. Fits nicely beside desk and looks very modern. 5 out of 5 for me!

Overall the shredder is 5-star. It works great and officially shreds up to eight pages very well. It also smoothly shreds credit cards. The shredder also easily meets my requirements of continuous shredding without easily overheating. The bin also adequately meets my needs. The shredder also securely cross cuts into small short pieces for extra security. The shredder is also super safe. I would highly suggest buying this shredder.

The Staples 24565987 8-sheet shredder performed well for me. I have used it for over 2 weeks and I have had no problems with it that I consider serious. It did need to cool down for one session where I was shredding a couple hundred sheets of aper but I expect this to happen and i appreciate this feature as a safety mechanism for the shredder motor. I simply waited for approximately 30 minutes and then resumed the shredding. The noise level was acceptable; some folks don't like a lot of noise but honestly the device is shredding paper - I expect some noise. I did not find the noise level to be too loud. The shredder was easy to set up and use. the controls are user friendly and easy to understand. The shredder cuts paper in a cross-cut pattern that would be almost impossible for a bad guy to reconstruct. I typically try not to put too many pages in at once but to adequately test the shredder I did attempt 8 sheets several times and the shredder only jammed once perhaps because the paper was put in a little crooked. For test purposes I tried 10 sheets once and the shredder did jam; however it is a light duty machine and the manual clearly states that 8 sheets is the limit. All in all this is a very good light duty shredder that will definitely shred my documents in a secure fashion.

As a small home-based business owner I had a perfect opportunity to test this shredder for both business and personal use. After two weeks I discovered that it's more suited for personal use in homes that don't require much shredding beyond pre-approved credit card applications and an occasional expired credit/debit card. With its small footprint the shredder doesn't take up much room making it easy to find a space to put it. As with shredders this size it doesn't have a convenient pull-out drawer with a small window to show when it's full. Emptying this shredder requires removing the top that contains the motor and blades placing it somewhere on the floor or on a table and dumping out the shreds in the container below. The top unit is deceptively heavy and doesn't have recessed handles so be sure to have a good grip and keep your feet clear when removing it in case you drop it. It's definitely not built for small hands. Operation is easy; I didn't even need the instruction manual to figure out how to use it. For a small unit it shreds quickly although it does tend to slow down considerably when shredding more than 3 sheets. It's also unnecessarily loud. My heavy-duty business shredder is much quieter. The paper shreds are small enough to offer more security than shredders that use to cut paper into strips but not as small as those produced by other shredders of the same size. I shredded regular printer paper cardstock and a few old plastic membership cards. This little unit handled them all easily with no noticeable straining. Overall I'd recommend this shredder for occasional home use.

This shredder is great it eats my paper fast and is so much quieter than my old one. No more paper jams it seems to be able to handle several weights of paper well.
